If you have been doing your World Bosses regularly, you should have already unlocked Mostruosità scatenate as well. To use this tint, you must have unlocked the base Valorous artifact appearance via Rivisitazioni storiche first, which is not completable until Nighthold.

Trial of Valor Nerfs

The Trial of Valor nerfs announced yesterday will take effect after realm restarts. These nerfs include a 10% health reduction to all of the bosses. Full list of Trial of Valor nerfs found here.

Pet Battle Bonus Event

While this event is active, your pets will earn experience at triple the usual rate! Get out there and battle!

During this event, you will get the Sigillo delle Mascotte which increases experience gained by pets by 200%. This should help a lot with getting a crew of pets up to 25, whether you level via wild pet or trainer battles. In addition, Birba will be up on US realms December 20th, who is great for powerleveling pets. Check out the Wowhead page for lots of great strategies! The Menagerie battles have now returned to "Today In..." on the front page as well!

This is the perfect time to get your Falcosaurs leveled up to 25 to complete the questline for Falcosaur mounts and unlock Vendetta dell'Artiglio. More details in the Falcosaur Guide by Purgatorywolf.

Wowhead has lots of battle pet tools, including great user comments for pet strategies, the Battle Pet Database to browse and search all available pets, and the Character Profiler to see a detailed breakdown of your pet collection, their levels, and where to collect more pets.

Am I reading that right about the arch reward?

Seems too good to be true.

It used to be an ilvl 815 neck during the Legion beta, but now shows up as an ilvl 850 item when linked in game. I think it's intended because the relics from the previous quest were originally ilvl 805 and changed to 840.

Breaching the Nighthold is the latest and final quest series for Insurrection.

Achievement says "Breaking the Nighthold," not Breaching. Typo?

yeah, got confused with Breaking the Nighthold and the final quest, Breaching the Sanctum.

So, Blizzard stated that the final part of Insurrection would reward the mount. Now we have to defeat Gul'dan in order to get it? That seems to be a bold face lie on their part. The questline was very interesting and rewarding with AP but we were promised a mount for doing it.

Commento di perculia

If you follow the quest line to completion, you’ll be much closer to obtaining the wondrous new Arcanist’s Manasaber mount.

Early in the PTR it seemed like the achievement would directly reward the mount, but after playing through the quests on the PTR and also not seeing the reward tied to the achievement in the data after months, we added speculation to our Insurrection guide that there could be another step ( Insurrection - Capper seemed like a potential step, but now we've learned it's Gul'dan).

The Insurrection questline has been really good, I hope they continue doing things like this in the future (for Tomb of Sargeras, Argus, etc). Also looking forward to the archaeology reward this time, gonna be a nice boost for some of my alts.

As a side note, there's a small typo:

Work on the new archaeology quests every other work for This Side Up and a new artifact appearance tint.

Should read "every other week" :P

I knew it that it was a lie. when they announce that the reward was after a series of solo quests and you didn't need raid quest to finish it.

The flavor text for the mount suggests that it was a reward from doing something from Nighthold. Gul'dan seemed the obvious choice from the start.

The only annoyance with it-assuming it can be completed in LFR, which one would hope given that the Xavius step in Good Sumaritarian could be-is that as a four wing LFR, with the first wing likely not opening until January 24 and then the usual every two weeks later, we're looking at as late as March 7 for people who only LFR to get the mount. Might just have to break down and pug Normal then.

Miniature Winter Veil Tree has been updated to ilvl 835. However, the 7.1.5 PTR Version caps out at ilvl 830 and scales to your level at the time of looting.

Thanks for the report and updated; because the WoD dagger had received data updates for Legion and 7.1.5 we originally thought it was part of the event still.

Many people were led to believe it is a reward from the questline, putting subtle phrasing to just let ppl speculate it was the reward from the questline feels cheap. I put a subcription only to finish the questline and get the mount. I know that probably I should have speculated better but Blizzard from their side wasn't really open either as how to get the mount and people justly thought that 8 weeks waiting is worth of a mount.

It annoys me REALLY much that US get Squirt lining up with literally every damn Pet Battle Bonus Event (it did the last one too), but EU get another schedule, so it doesn't match up. Exactly the kind of bull#$%^ that makes it a bit too obvious that the devs care only about US, not EU. Just !@#$ off already...

Well, EU got the Kosumoth mount how many weeks in a row vs US (who got it the very first cycle, and didn't see it again til mid-November)?

Won't argue that this one might be a bit more impacting overall, but it still happens both ways.

It should be able to be completed on LFR because the entire questchain can be done solo. (really hope it is though even though i'll have to wait few months for LFR to open up...)

VERY disappointed with this. Waited 9 weeks for nothing. I'm not even going to finish this now, since Nighthold won't be out for a month. And does LFR even count for this, or am I screwed because I don't do normal (and above) raids?

I should have known better. :( I thought Blizzard had finally learned how to engage players in gated content. I'm not wasting my time finishing it now, since I highly doubt they'll let normal people get it in LFR despite the long solo quest chain.

That's pretty $%^&ty. 9 weeks of useless quests for what? Just to wait another 2-3 more weeks just to do Nighthold and I bet you that quests cannot be completed in LFR. It's just one big gate behind 13 other gates for a mount that looks exactly like regular Mana Saber that most of us bought . Ty blizzard for wasting my time.
